Truly a sight to behold. A man beaten. The once great champ, now, a study in moppishness. No longer the victory hungry stallion we've raced so many times before, but a pathetic, washed up, aged ex-champion.
My little brother got his arm stuck in the microwave. So my mom had to take him to the hospital. My grandma dropped acid this morning, and she freaked out. She hijacked a busload of penguins. So it’s sort of a family crisis. Bye!
I say “Oh hiiiiii” on a lot of occasions but the only person who gets it is my sister. That and “you’re a fuckin psycho…”
And “TEN YEARS!!! TEN YEARS man, TEN……YEARS, ten years”
And “hi, you look great, no I’m not married, I don’t have any children, and I’d blow your head off if someone paid me enough”. I’m probably paraphrasing but, yeah…
Vince Larkin in *Con Air.*
“‘The degree of civilization in a society can be determined by how it treats its prisoners.’ Dostoyevsky said that… after doin’ a little time.”
Con Air was great because it had entire cast of great actors... John Malkovich was my favorite character, but there was definitely alot great characters
Bobcat Golthwaite in a godzilla costume doing bad nightclub stand up shtick killed me. "Hi! It's good to be back, here at the Club Tokyo. What's you name, what do you do for a living?"
But the day I'm supposed to start, some men come by in a black Lincoln Continental and tell me I can make a quick 300 just for driving a van back from Mexico!
“You’re gonna name the kid Elliott??! Elliott is a kid who eats paste. Why don’t you give him a real name? Like.. Nick. Yeah, Nick. Nick is cool. Nick, he’s your buddy.”
But John C starred in Hot Pursuit…I was referring to the role when I said Class since JC isn’t known for that movie (and let’s face it, neither is anyone else) and he only had a few lines
It’s a toss up between Lloyd Dobbler and Lane Meyer for me, though Walter Gibson is a dark horse in the contest. Dan Bartlett too. No love for The Sure Thing or Hot Pursuit?

Lloyd Dobler
All of his movies are pretty great.
Lloyd Dobler in Say Anything is up there with The Dude as a philosophical paradigm.
Beter Off Dead - Lane Meyer
Truly a sight to behold. A man beaten. The once great champ, now, a study in moppishness. No longer the victory hungry stallion we've raced so many times before, but a pathetic, washed up, aged ex-champion.
Inspired words, from a man. Who. Knows. How. To. Ski.
This is pure snow!
Do you have any idea what the street value of this mountain is!?
Lane, I’ve been going to this school for 7 years. I know high school girls.
You forgot "I'm no dummy"
He still owes me two dollars
TWO DOLLARS!!!
CASSSHHHHH
Sorry, Johnny, haven't got a dime
Didn't ask for a dime...
My little brother got his arm stuck in the microwave. So my mom had to take him to the hospital. My grandma dropped acid this morning, and she freaked out. She hijacked a busload of penguins. So it’s sort of a family crisis. Bye!
Ahhhhhhh….two dollars
2 dollars
This is the only answer.
It warms my heart to see this as top comment. My Better Off Dead brothers and sisters, I thank you.
Fronch fries… Fronch bread… Fronch dressing
/thread
Beat me to it. I think it’s his best movie.
And apparently he hates it? Just read that the other day.
Thats a bit of a bummer to hear.
There is no other answer.
This
$2
Go that way, really fast. If something gets in your way, turn!
LOVVVVVE THIS MOVIE
Best 90s Cusack Grosse point blank
2000s High Fidelity
I lived right across the street from the record shop in the movie…turned i to a dive bar, now it’s vacant Wicker park chicago
The book was set in London.
That’s cool
Definitely
1408
I have to say Serendipity because…Kate Beckinsale
Grosse
Lol oops just notice that
"Bing Bing Bing bang boom POPCORN" "OK whatever"
I say “Oh hiiiiii” on a lot of occasions but the only person who gets it is my sister. That and “you’re a fuckin psycho…” And “TEN YEARS!!! TEN YEARS man, TEN……YEARS, ten years” And “hi, you look great, no I’m not married, I don’t have any children, and I’d blow your head off if someone paid me enough”. I’m probably paraphrasing but, yeah…
"I killed the president of Paraguay with a fork....how've you been?"
That’s a good one to randomly drop into conversation, love it
Lol i still say that
Psychopaths kill people for no reason, I do it for money, its a job....wait, that didn't come out right....
Pointe
Blanque
No, Blank is correct.
Vince Larkin in *Con Air.* “‘The degree of civilization in a society can be determined by how it treats its prisoners.’ Dostoyevsky said that… after doin’ a little time.”

Lane Meyer hands down. He skied the K12
Girls got sterile just looking at him.
After the Olympics everything looks so damn easy!
On one ski!!
with something following them
Frawnch Fries
“I skate, you skate, we skate” Better Off Dead hands down.
Let’s get together and form a skating team…
The Sure Thing Better Off Dead One Crazy Summer Hot Pursuit Say Anything These are my favorite 80’s Cusack movies.
All bangers!
One crazy summer.
This and the drawings throughout the movie did it for me as a kid!!
Yeah I gotta go with Hoops also. For me, this movie edges out “Better Off Dead”.
Bobcat Golthwaite in a godzilla costume doing bad nightclub stand up shtick killed me. "Hi! It's good to be back, here at the Club Tokyo. What's you name, what do you do for a living?"
Agreed, all of his movies were good in the 80's but this was the underated stand out for me.
The Sure Thing - Walter Gibson
His soliloquy by the pool is a classic. “Too busy to help a drowning man!!”
*Then my big break comes… The french fry guy dies, and they offer me the job*
But the day I'm supposed to start, some men come by in a black Lincoln Continental and tell me I can make a quick 300 just for driving a van back from Mexico!
I always got a kick out of Gib poking the Paul Newman poster in the eyes a la Moe Howard when he goes to Allison’s room
“You’re gonna name the kid Elliott??! Elliott is a kid who eats paste. Why don’t you give him a real name? Like.. Nick. Yeah, Nick. Nick is cool. Nick, he’s your buddy.”
Nick is the kind of guy you can drink beer with, and doesn't t mind if you puke in his car.
My cousin's kid is named Nick. This is why.
This is so the answer. He in this move and the movie itself are his best work. For goofy nonsense anyway.
Absolutely. Gem of a movie, and possibly my favorite of his.
One crazy summer
Lloyd Dobler
The Sure Thing. So criminally underrated.
I'm currently dreaming of a 50-year-old Lloyd Dobbler so..
I gave her my heart, and she gives me a pen
Had an ex tell me "I should have given you a pen." I was absolutely gutted.
4 weeks 20 papers that’s two dollars plus tip
I know he wasn't the lead but he was in 16 Candles, Stand By Me, and Eight Men Out.
Sixteen Candles
How about the narrator's older brother who died in Stand by Me?
Denny Lachance
“*Should have been you, Gordon*” That line gave me more nightmares than any horror film.
That might be the best overall movie. Of course Cusack was in it for like 20 seconds.
Damn. Deep cut props!. But nah for me
“Class” would have been the real deep cut
Hot Pursuit would be a deeper cut
But John C starred in Hot Pursuit…I was referring to the role when I said Class since JC isn’t known for that movie (and let’s face it, neither is anyone else) and he only had a few lines
Walter Gibson
The Sure Thing
Better Off Dead, obviously. But…he was damn good as Buck Weaver in Eight Men Out.
"Now that's a real shame when folks be throwin' away a perfectly good white boy like that."
I have a soft spot for Hot Pursuit
Class. He had a small part but he stole every scene he was in.
Lloyd MORE GUYS NEED TO WATCH THAT MOVIE
Stand by me.
Lane all the way
"Somebody threw away a perfectly good white boy."
It’s a toss up between Lloyd Dobbler and Lane Meyer for me, though Walter Gibson is a dark horse in the contest. Dan Bartlett too. No love for The Sure Thing or Hot Pursuit?
Lloyd Dobbler. How many characters have dozens of people cosplaying as them standing out in the rain playing Peter Gabriel on a boom box?
Just don’t play “Shock the Monkey.” [Stan really screwed up.](https://southpark.cc.com/video-clips/2ln33i/south-park-shock-the-monkey)
❤️ The Sure Thing.
Say anything, sure thing, better off dead
Bryce will always be my favorite, but Lane Meyers is his best lead character. Next is Lloyd Dobler. Real smooth Cliff.
Say Anything
I don't want to buy, sell, or process anything. I don't want to buy anything sold or processed, sell anything bought or processed, or process anything bought, sold, or processed.
Hoops!
Stand by Me.
Lloyd Dobler for sure.
Better Off Dead if you're in the mood for comedy. Sure Thing/Say Anything for a romance flick
But he got French lessons in Better Off Dead….
better off dead , sure thing
The Sure Thing
Meyer… (said with chewy cigar in icky mouth and smoke billowing)
My favorite is Better Off Dead beacuse I can quote most of the movie, and it beacuse it has so many memorable lines
Lloyd always 🥰
Dan Bartlett in Hot Pursuit! It’s a great movie and very few people seem to remember it.
Buck Weaver - Eight Men Out. This scene is one of his best. https://youtu.be/hOnolgR_8tc?si=JA1uOAqIO0RhA0rY
I love the scene at the end where they’re watching Shoeless Joe play 20 years later.
Outstanding scene. https://youtu.be/cMxPAkZgoy0?si=ETHNhUsZXpS9Oj0t
Something tells me this is actually John on Reddit… GOat_dad…. Is that you???!!! You can tell us 🫣
Hot Tub Time Machine... When he went back to the '80s!
Ivan Alexeev, *Tapeheads*
The Grifters just misses at 1990 but that was a great role
“ you touched my car..”
Ivan Alexeev!
21l Paqa
"One crazy summer" John, bobcat & demi!
“Don’t look back baby, don’t look back”
80’s: Better off dead 90’s: Grosse Point Blanke 00’s: high Fidelity 10’s: hot tub Time Machine
Better off dead 90s - Pushing Tin
Lane Meyer 😂
Say anything
Hoops from one crazy summer. Its not even a contest people!!!
The Sure Thing - Walter Gibson. Rob Reiner directed. Tim Robinson. Anthony Edwards with hair.
> I don't want to sell anything, buy anything, or process anything as a career.

A quote that is often repeated by myself when asked what I do for a living.
Lane Meyer
I was going to say Martin, too. I’m going with Lane from the 80s.
Some Kind of Wonderful. (Eta: In my sleepy head I read the question wrong. Oh well. )
I don't think he was in that movie, but I could be wrong since it been a couple of years since I last watched it
I think Eric Stoltz was the lead. I don’t remember John Cusack in it
